&lt;p&gt;Nadal, 35, will miss the US Open for a second consecutive time, after he withdrew last year due to the pandemic. The Spaniard won in New York for the last time in&lt;strong&gt; 2019&lt;/strong&gt;, after he defeated &lt;strong&gt;Daniil Medvedev &lt;/strong&gt;in a hard fought final of five sets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;While Nadal is known for being one of&amp;nbsp; the biggest fighters of the tour, this year the Majorcan hasn't been able to compete as much as he&rsquo;s used to. He had to miss the entire grass season, including &lt;strong&gt;Wimbledon&lt;/strong&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Olympic Games&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. While he returned to the tour in Washington, he soon had to retire from the competition. Here, discover why.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Why won&rsquo;t Rafael Nadal compete in the US Open 2021?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;On August 20, Nadal addressed his physical problems in a lengthy statement published on his social media in Spanish. The World. No 5 said that he&rsquo;s been struggling all year with his foot, as he suffers from the &lt;strong&gt;Muller-Weiss syndrome&lt;/strong&gt;, degenerative disease that generates dysplasia of the scaphoid (one of the foot bones). He has been suffering from this disease since 2005, as he explained in the statement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I need to take&lt;strong&gt; some time.&lt;/strong&gt; After discussing it with my team and family, I&rsquo;ve made this decision (to put an end to the 2021 season) and I think is the way to go to recover myself,&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;he wrote on his Instagram and Twitter. &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve lost many things that are important to me (...) and since I haven't been able to train and prepare myself to compete the way I like to do it, I&rsquo;ve reached the conclusion that I need time.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;He also said that he will evaluate looking for a different treatment to see if his foot can get better, so he can keep competing at the highest levels some more years. &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;I promise you that I will work hard to try to keep enjoying this sport a&lt;strong&gt; little longer,&lt;/strong&gt;&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;he concluded. Until then, tennis fans all over the world will surely miss him.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

US Open 2021: Why isn't Rafael Nadal playing at Flushing Meadows?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rafael Nadal'&lt;/strong&gt;s&lt;/a&gt; participation in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US Open&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;is looking uncertain at this point. The Spaniard just retired from the Toronto Masters 2021 and confirmed that he won&rsquo;t be playing at the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/atp-masters-1000-t184544&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Western &amp;amp; Southern Open&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in Cincinnati, which Round of 64 starts on Monday August 16.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal, 35, hasn&rsquo;t had a pleasant season so far. The Majorcan suffered from physical problems in Roland Garros, where he lost to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/novak-djokovic-t152001&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in the semifinals. After that, Nadal didn&rsquo;t compete at Wimbledon and the Olympic Games.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;He decided to return to the ATP tour to play in &lt;strong&gt;Washington&lt;/strong&gt; for the first time in his career. However, his comeback was shorter than expected, as he lost in the second round showing discomfort. After that, he was supposed to play in Toronto but the physical problems persisted. Here, check out what's keeping Nadal out of the courts.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

  &lt;span class=&quot;item third&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Why Rafael Nadal won&rsquo;t be playing in the Cincinnati Masters 2021?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal has been struggling with the &lt;strong&gt;Muller-Weiss syndrome&lt;/strong&gt; in his foot since 2005. This is a rare degenerative disease that generates dysplasia of the &lt;strong&gt;scaphoid&lt;/strong&gt;, which is one of the bones of the foot.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As Punto de Break explains, Nadal has been dealing with problems in his foot for years, and they almost make him retire. However, he has been able to keep playing using&lt;strong&gt; shoe insoles&lt;/strong&gt; and having to avoid overloading his foot. However, this has generated other problems in his knees.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;As the Spaniard hasn&rsquo;t released any statement about his health right now, it&rsquo;s uncertain how much time will he need to return to the competition. The &lt;strong&gt;US Open &lt;/strong&gt;starts on August 30, with the qualys, so tennis fans have to wait to know if the Spaniard will be in New York or not.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Cincinnati Masters 2021: Why isn't Rafael Nadal in the Western & Southern Open?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;withdrew from the&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Toronto Masters 2021&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, one day before his scheduled match against Lloyd Harris, the same player that beat him one week before in Washington DC. The Spaniard was looking to prepare himself before the &lt;strong&gt;US Open&lt;/strong&gt;, which starts on August 30, but now his participation is at stake.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The 20-time Grand Slam champion missed Wimbledon and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Tokyo Olympics&lt;/a&gt; in the summer to recover his body after playing the entire clay season, in which he lost against Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of &lt;strong&gt;Roland Garros.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;However, now the World No. 4 is still struggling to be in shape for the last Grand Slam of the year. While he was able to play some matches in &lt;strong&gt;Washington DC,&lt;/strong&gt; he is far away from his best level. And now Nadal had less margin to improve. Here, check out why he won&rsquo;t be playing in Toronto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align:center&quot;&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Why did Rafael Nadal pull out of the Toronto Masters 2021?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal has been struggling with a &lt;strong&gt;foot injury&lt;/strong&gt;, as the Spaniard said last week in Washington, where he seemed&amp;nbsp;to had&amp;nbsp;trouble moving around the court in his last match against Harris. While Nadal said that his foot&lt;em&gt; &ldquo;was better,&quot; &lt;/em&gt;that isn&rsquo;t the case anymore.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&ldquo;Of course, it is not a happy situation after all the success that I had here in Canada, not being able to play this year after missing a year,&rdquo;&lt;/em&gt; Nadal said in a&amp;nbsp;interview to address his withdrawal. &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a tough one, but that's how it is today,&quot;&lt;/em&gt; he added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The five-time Toronto Masters 2021 champion couldn&rsquo;t renew the title he won in 2019, when he beat &lt;strong&gt;Daniil Medvedev &lt;/strong&gt;at Montr&eacute;al. Nadal now has to decide if he plays at the Cincinnati Open, which starts next week (August 14).&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Toronto Masters 2021: Rafael Nadal retires from the Canadian Open 2021

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is returning to competition today, August 4 at the ATP 500 &lt;strong&gt;Citi Open&lt;/strong&gt;, where he&rsquo;s facing American &lt;strong&gt;Jack Sock&lt;/strong&gt; in the second round. The Spaniard will play at the event for the first time in his prolific career. Here, check out everything there&rsquo;s to know about this &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tennis &lt;/a&gt;match such as the preview, information, head-to-head,&amp;nbsp;predictions, odds and how to watch it in the US.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;After taking time apart from tour, missing Wimbledon and the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Olympic Games&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Nadal is starting his preparation for the &lt;strong&gt;US Open&lt;/strong&gt;, which starts on August, 30. The 20-time Grand Slam champion usually doesn't return to tour this early for the last part of the season. But without playing a tournament in nearly two months, he certainly needs to catch up if wants to have a triumph in New York.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;His first opponent will be &lt;strong&gt;Jack Sock&lt;/strong&gt;, who reached the second round after the withdrawal of Yoshito Nishioka when he was up 7-6 (3), 0-4. Now, the American, ranked 192, will have a bigger test against Nadal. The last few years have been rough for Sock, but he is increasing his form and he&rsquo;s trying to come back to the elite.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Rafael Nadal vs Jack Sock: Predictions, odds, H2H and how to watch the Citi Open Round of 32 in the US today

&lt;p&gt;After finishing Wimbledon, the best &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; players are already in&lt;strong&gt; Tokyo&lt;/strong&gt; to compete for the gold in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/sports/tokyo-2020-olympics-schedule-key-dates-and-how-to-watch-20210714-0014.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Olympic Games 2020&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. However, half of the Top 20 male players are not going to compete at the Olympics. Among them, is World No 3,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rafael Nadal.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Spanish is not only a 20-time Grand Slam winner, as he also tasted Olympic glory in&lt;strong&gt; 2008&lt;/strong&gt;, when he won the gold medal against &lt;strong&gt;Nicolas Kiefer&lt;/strong&gt; in Beijing. He is the only member of the &lsquo;Big 3&rsquo; with gold in singles, as &lt;strong&gt;Roger Federer&lt;/strong&gt; has won silver (London 2012) and gold in doubles (2008), while &lt;strong&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/strong&gt; has bronze (2008).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal played the first part of the season, winning two titles on clay in Rome and Barcelona. However, after losing in the semifinals of Roland Garros against &lt;strong&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/strong&gt;, the Spaniard decided not to compete at Wimbledon nor the Olympic Games. Here, check out why he withdrew from &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/olympic-games-t156666&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tokyo 2020.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Tokyo 2020: Why is Nadal not playing at the Olympics?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Two weeks before Wimbledon, Rafael Nadal explained in a series of tweets that he decided not to play in London and Tokyo. Nadal said that he needed time to&lt;strong&gt; recuperate&lt;/strong&gt; after he played the clay season in its entirety.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Also, the Spanish explained that his goal was to &lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;prolong&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; his career as much as possible. &lt;em&gt;&ldquo;They have been two months of great effort and the decision I take is focused on looking at the mid and long term,&rdquo; &lt;/em&gt;he wrote on Twitter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Without playing Wimbledon and the Olympic Games, Nadal will have plenty of time to rest ahead of the US Open, which starts in September. With an Olympic gold already in his stats, it seems like the Spanish has his mind on the &lt;strong&gt;record of Grand Slams&lt;/strong&gt; that he shares with Djokovic and Federer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Tokyo 2020: Why Rafael Nadal won't be competing at the Olympics?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/sports/wimbledon-2021-list-by-year-of-past-winners--20210627-0003.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wimbledon 2021&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;has kicked off this week and the big names of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;are playing at the All England Club. &lt;strong&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/serena-williams-t29015&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Serena Williams&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Roger Federer, Asleigh Barty and more, all have made their debut at the third Grand Slam of the year. However, one of the fan favorites and best players won&rsquo;t be seen in London: &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rafael Nadal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Spanish, winner of &lt;strong&gt;20 Grand Slams,&lt;/strong&gt; just played Roland Garros a few weeks ago and failed at the semifinals against Novak Djokovic. It was the third time in Nadal's career that somebody beat him on clay in Paris. Djokovic went on and lifted the trophy, after beating Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final, to earn his 19th major and put more pressure on Nadal and &lt;strong&gt;Roger Federer&lt;/strong&gt;, who also has 20 Slams.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;With the career for the Slams really tight and after that tough loss, everyone was wondering if Nadal would play at Wimbledon. The Spanish have only won twice there, as grass is not his favorite surface. And being&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;35 years old&lt;/strong&gt; and with a long history with &lt;strong&gt;injuries&lt;/strong&gt;, the Spanish finally decided not to compete in London. Here, check out the reasons for Nadal to withdraw from the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/wimbledon-t40884&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Championships.&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;Wimbledon 2021: Why is Nadal not playing at the Championships?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rafael Nadal explained in a series of &lt;strong&gt;tweets&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;two weeks ago that he decided to not participate in Wimbledon 2021 and the &lt;strong&gt;Olympic Games.&lt;/strong&gt; The Spanish explained that he took the decision with his team and that his goal was to &lt;strong&gt;&ldquo;prolong&rdquo;&lt;/strong&gt; his career as much as possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal also said that the 2 weeks between Roland Garros and Wimbledon &lt;strong&gt;weren&rsquo;t enough &lt;/strong&gt;for him to recuperate after the clay season that he played in its entirety. &ldquo;They have been two months of great effort and the decision I take is focused on looking at the mid and long term&rdquo;, he wrote on Twitter.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The transition between clay and grass isn&rsquo;t easy, as the first surface is slower. Also, Nadal said that right now he needs to prevent every tension on his body, especially &ldquo;at this time&rdquo; of his career. Without playing Wimbledon and the Olympic Games, Nadal will have plenty of time to rest ahead of the &lt;strong&gt;US Open,&lt;/strong&gt; which starts in September.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Wimbledon 2021: Why is Rafael Nadal not playing at The Championships?

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/novak-djokovic-t152001&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Novak Djokovic&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;meet today at the&amp;nbsp;Court Philippe Chatrier for&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/roland-garros-t35497&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2021 French Open&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; semifinals, to relieve last year's final match in which the Spaniard took his &lt;strong&gt;13th Roland Garros title. &lt;/strong&gt;To be exact, this will be their 58th matchup, proving once again their rivalry is the most prolific of&amp;nbsp;the tour. Find out here information, predictions, odds and how to watch the match in the US.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal, as usual, is thriving on the clay in Paris. The Spaniard, who is looking to capture a record &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/sports/tennis-how-many-grand-slams-has-rafael-nadal-won-20210108-0005.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21st Grand Slam&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, beat Argentinian &lt;strong&gt;Diego Schwartzman&lt;/strong&gt; 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-0 to improve to a 105-2 match record at the French Open. It will be his 14th semifinal at this Slam.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, World No. 1 &lt;strong&gt;Novak Djokovic &lt;/strong&gt;prevailed 6-3, 6-2, 6-7(5), 7-5 over Italian &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/sports/novak-djokovic-vs-matteo-berrettini-predictions-odds-and-how-to-watch-roland-garros-mens-quarter-finals-in-the-us--20210608-0011.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Matteo Berrettini&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;in a dramatic match to reach the semifinals. The Serbian, 18-time Grand Slam winner, is looking for his second crown at Paris, where he lifted the trophy in 2016.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Djokovic vs Nadal: Head to Head&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will meet for a &lt;strong&gt;record 58th time&lt;/strong&gt; on the ATP Tour. This will be their ninth encounter at Roland Garros, and it will be their 15th match in either the semifinals or finals in Grand Slams.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Their most recent match was in&lt;strong&gt; Rome's ATP final&lt;/strong&gt; on May 16th. Nadal won in straight sets to lift his 10th crown at Italia&rsquo;s capital. He also tied the 36 ATP Masters 1000 trophies of the Serbian. Despite Djokovic leading the series 29-28, Nadal is the master of clay.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;The Spaniard has won their last five encounters on this surface. He &lt;strong&gt;leads 19-7 on clay &lt;/strong&gt;in total, and 9-4 on clay in finals. However, Djokovic leads 15-13 in finals overall. It certainly won&rsquo;t be an easy match for either of them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

The Spaniard returned to action in great fashion, while the Bulgarian reached this round with more effort. Here, you'll find everything there is to know about this &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; game, such as information, storylines, predictions, odds, and how to watch it in the US.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rafa got back on track with &lt;strong&gt;a convincing win over Federico Delbonis&lt;/strong&gt; after being sidelined almost two months. The current No. 3 in the ATP World's&amp;nbsp;Ranking is seeking a new victory in this tournament, where he achieved impressive results throughout his career, lifting the trophy several times.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, &lt;strong&gt;Dimitrov heads to this game after a hard-fought triumph against Jeremy Chardy&lt;/strong&gt;. The Bulgarian faces a tough ordeal against the 34-year-old superstar, who&amp;nbsp;was dominant against him before.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Rafael Nadal vs Grigor Dimitrov: Storylines&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Rafael Nadal returned to action with the right foot and began his Monte-Carlo campaign in a great manner, defeating Federico Delbonis 6-1, 6-2 to give a step forward in his quest for a new title. &lt;strong&gt;The Spaniard was crowned in this tournament 11 times&lt;/strong&gt;, with eight straight victories from 2005 to 2012, and with three succesive triumphs from 2016 to 2018.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Asides from Rafa's strength at clay-court competitions, &lt;strong&gt;he has been an extremely difficult opponent for Dimitrov as well&lt;/strong&gt;.

Rafael Nadal vs Grigor Dimitrov: Preview, predictions, odds and how to watch 2021 Monte-Carlo Masters Round of 16 today

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/rafael-nadal-t148640&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Rafael Nadal&lt;/a&gt;, born in Mallorca, Spain, on June 3, 1986, is a talented Spanish &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/tennis-t157006&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;tennis&lt;/a&gt; player who is considered to be one of the all-time best. &lt;/strong&gt;Known as&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;&quot;King of Clay&quot;, he dominates in every game, showing his importance as one of the finest in tennis games. Having won many championships, including various major slams, Nadal has intrigued tennis fans from all over the world with his ability to captivate their minds and souls.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Rafael was three years old, his Uncle, Toni Nadal, a former professional tennis player, began to work with him and saw young Rafael's ability for &lt;a href=&quot;https://us.bolavip.com/sports-t100932&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;sports&lt;/a&gt;. Nadal&amp;nbsp;captured the Spanish and European tennis titles in his age group when he was only 12 years old. At the age of 15, he became a professional tennis player.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal was a defensive counterpoint in his younger days, dependent upon composure, pace, and determination to outlast his adversaries. That is why much of his early success came on clay, which more than offense rewards defense. However, he has lately become a more competitive player, closer to the baseline and taking action in the early stages. This made it significantly more dangerous for non-clay surfaces and helped him win major grass and hardcourts tournaments as well.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;h2&gt;How many&amp;nbsp;Grand Slams has Nadal won?&lt;/h2&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal has won 20 Grand Slam men's individual titles, mostly affiliated with Roger Federer throughout history. Specifically, his&amp;nbsp;13 French Open titles are the most won by a single player in any tournament. Nadal's lead on clay has also been underlined by 60 of his 86 ATP Single titles, which includes 25 of his 35 ATP Master 1000 titles, with the longest single-surface winning streak of the Open Era being his 81 straight wins on clay.&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal tops the record head-to-head among all members of the Top Three in Grand Slams and has the most Slams on the way to the Big Three (13). In addition, he&amp;nbsp;is one of two male tennis players along with Wilander, who can gain at least two Grand Slams on three separate areas (hard, grass and clay).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Nadal, along with Agassi, is also one of two male tennis players who have been branded Careers Golden Slam, to win the Olympic Gold in singles and the four Grand Slams of her career. In 2010, Nadal was the first man to win Grand Slams on three separate surfs in the same calendar year (clay, grass, and hard courts). Nadal has records of Grand Slam (2005&ndash;2014) for most consecutive years and records of most of the outdoor titles (83).&lt;/p&gt;
